Description

For a realistic dose estimation the concentration factors (CF) of plutonium and americium were derived from the field measurements of marine products and ambient coastal sea water. The distribution of the concentration ratios (CR) between the concentration in marine products and that in ambient sea water shows a lognormal distribution. The CF of plutonium and americium which are derived as the geometric mean of CR values, are 31 and 67 for whitebait, 12 and 37 for flatfish, 350 and 220 for brown algae, 140 and 670 for shell fish, 27 and 130 for cephalopods, and 250 and 550 for crustaceans, respectively.
